From the very beginning, Mike and I both had a strong feeling we were going to have a baby girl. Our due date was August 12, but on August 18th when our little one didn't seem to want to come out, our doctor decided to induce labor. Straight from the appointment, I was checked into Labor and Delivery. Mike and I were standing outside the hallway to our room as it was being prepped for us and the framed picture outside our door confirmed what we had always believed . . . we were having a girl! The picture was of a little bunny. We looked at one another and smiled, our excitement and nerves overflowing. We had talked about names for boys and girls, but we knew if we had a girl we wanted her middle name to be Bunny (after Mike's grandmother Bernice, who was always called Bunny). The picture on the wall was a little sign. :)

So sweet...
Absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful post and introduction to Tessa for all of us! I always felt that you were having a girl, too. :-)
Oh, Georgia, she is gorgeous. And so sweet. I love that you're doing this. Lots of love to the three of you. I have to believe that Tessa Bunny is happy, too, that you are sharing your story.
